Thinking about swapping over to a few drags. Will be in sandy cutovers , and semi open places with 8 ft of chain. Thinking about NO less than 3 lbs. So what is better. J C Conner's Tracker Drag or Saber Tooth Drag???

Conner's drags are very good, no experience with saber tooth. I would add length to your chain and more weight to the drag in that type of area.

OK . Thanks, cpizzicharlie. Which J C Conner drag in 4 lbs? Tracker Drag? OR Tracker Pro Forged Ridgid Drag? Have #7 chain in 100 ft rolls. 12x8 = 96 ft SO thats why I am going 8 ft per drag.

I use drags of 2 or3 types some sold by ogorman, sabertooth. Homemade mechanical all have 10 foot of chain and trap all have 18inches to 2 feet of chain on them.

I looked at O'Gorman's = Magnum Armageddon Drags , But at 217 a dozen plus tax thats 2604 dollars for 144 drags PLUS shipping

JC makes great drags...I like his 4 lb.ers forged. Use long heavy chain on them.

MChewk. I have #7 chain . Its rated at 800 lbs vertical 3200 lbs pulling. I have several 100 ft buckets of this, IT will fit a 5/16 th quick length threw the chain . What length chain are you running on your JC drags? Is it open country?

I like JCs forged point drags.

I really like the old Wimberley drags.

Just how open of ground we talking here? And how hard?

Sandy. Lots of cutovers. Logging stagging areas. Red sand. Can often bury the trap with your hands in the summer when dry.

Clogs hard to beat. Great attractors and make them fairly heavy as not to make it far. Place b4 intended. I use fence Staples to attach

Flint Hill fur . I dont know that those would work for me? Im on 15 day coyote contract jobs. I have 3 binds of traps in the back of Toyota Tacoma that hold about 200 MB - 550s total. I Think I can get 10-12 dozen drags under tool box, so size is an issue for me, when hauling gear for 200 miles to job.

The sabertooth has worked great for me it hung up about 40 yards from the set in an open hayfield one thick grass clump and he was done

I looked at Sabertooth from FNT. But now I find out that its only 2.65 lbs. I was thinking more NOW about the JC Conner drags at 4 lbs . But I have see some videos on the sabertooth drag, it look good too. Still uncertain what to buy

Why not anchor?

Is there a reason you need to use drags?

I like 8 ft plus what I have on my trap rig... usually 18 inches or more
Longer and heavier chain is better
Truthfully I pre hook up my grapple in thick cover then make my set
Others use heavy cable and conch off to
trees it all works you just to find a system you have confidence in

I do Anchor most of my trap. Josh at Fur Shed Fab has made me some Fox Hollow bullets on #7 chain. I pull my traps with Toyota Tacoma. I dont have time to pick up my line and move to another contract, buy hand pulling traps. Just way to many. 150-200 traps. My contract coyotes jobs are large tracts of land. So pulling up traps is done with trucks. ALso , their are spots 30 -40 yards of the roads that drags on traps are just easier to set. In the south, you often have loader piles. Thats where there is lots of dead log piles. LOTS of coyote sign around these places . But you have to walk out into cutover to get too so drags make more sense here. SO , i feel like going to drags would be benifecal in some places. 100 staked traps and 100 traps on drags might be perfect for 35,000 acre job.

MChewk, I have my MB-550s on 14 inch of #7 chain with a FoX Hollow stake. My plan would be, to just attach a 1/4 inch quick link , to that a leave bullet on it. So I would have 9 ft of chain plus whatever, MB 550s chains measure . That would be around 10 ft total im thinking from D ring on MB-550 to the drag? This way I can just haul around stake traps till Im read to attach Chain and drag when needed, or where ever the Best spot calls for it

Or a sterling swivel and a j hook.
But great idea ^^^^^^

Thanks . Red mt . My end goal maybe to have 100 or so 8 ft chain with drags on them and leave them at the lodge in south alabama. I have 1 lodge that I do 3 propertys from. So I will be at that lodge for three 15 day contracts. I also have two more 15 day contract about 25 miles down the rode. So 75 days plus out of 1 location. I could see my self leaving 100 drags under the walk a round porch at lodge. I already have 60 MB-550s there in a box right now. Few more drags under their would be OK with the people i work for

Steeltraps, If your using drags close to brush piles and trees and coon get caught they will go inside the pile and some climb trees even with a lot of chain. I've had it happen more than ounce As you Stated, I leave the chained super stakes attached and just use a link to attach the drag at the super stake. Quick, simple, efficient.
